Life changing Experience

in #life8 years ago

As a point of reference: several majors in life have occurred; a magnificent wife, 4 awesome free born hack schooled children, decentralized peer to peer transactions including status & standing corrections for all.

Upon leaving the event known as Tres Dias March 29, 1984, my Prescious New Birth I was suddenly accosted. As I was departing the auditorium; lets start with the morning events. Every morning around sunrise we would be used into chapel where we would take of the sacraments. That Sunday morning as I was taking the bread and the wine I suddenly glimpsed the Glory of God causing me to fall upon my knees weeping. In that moment I keenly realized how destitute, alone, corrupted, pompous, aloof, arrogant, egotistical, self serving, self centered & totally disgusting I truly was in the face of the almighty Christ Jesus. For hours I insanely weep and don't recall too much.

Later into the afternoon the conclusion of the program followed with several hundred in attendance. Those with life changing experiences were asked to come to the podium and share their experience. Upon standing I was instructed to sit down which I did.

The day before I was removed from the group and asked several questions by some of the head rectors. They shared that I should not be there due to my insolence and condescending attitude however they had never removed anyone from the group and didn't have a yardstick to measure such issues. They asked if I was a Christian and I said, of course, I'm a Presbyterian; you know, the frozen chosen. They asked if I believed in Jesus Christ and I said of course; even Satan believes and trembles. They asked if I were to die now would I go to heaven and I replied of course I would. So I was invited to the chapel with a large black Atlanta Falcon football player who was very charismatic. As we entered the small chapel he was crying and praying in tongues with intense emotion. Suddenly he stopped looking down at me asking if I knew what to do. Without hesitation I said yes that I was a philosophy theology major. He asked what I was waiting on and proceeded to pray out loud. Standing I walked down to the alter kneeling and saying a very long sinners prayer. After 30 or so minutes I returned to the group.

Back to the conclusion; after being instructed to remain in my chair I eventually bounded from my seat and headed for the stage. After sharing I walked to the back of the auditorium to leave when the head rector shouted that I mocked God and God would not be mocked to which I shouted back that I had just seen the Glory of God and I didn't mock God. He stated that I was living with that woman just as I had done so many and if I truly loved her I would marry.

I was stunned as if he had poured ice cold water down my back and then stabbed me as I saw a ticker tape pass with every word, deed, clearly revealed and recorded.

Leaving the auditorium and getting into the car I asked to be taken home.
